Scalable Transaction Management on Cloud Data Management Systems

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on -demand network access to shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. As the problem of building scalable transaction management mechanisms for multi-row transactions on key-value storage systems, for that purpose the authors develop scalable techniques for transaction management by using the Snapshot Isolation (SI) model. This SI model can give non-serializable transaction executions; they investigate two conflict detection techniques for ensuring serializability under SI.
